Lyrics
[Intro]
La, la-la-li-la, la-la-li-la, la-la-li-la
Yeah, ooh-ooh, oh-oh
[Instrumental]
Hey, livin' in the fast lane
Drivin', fast broads, with them fast chains
Ah, when you pimpin' through life (Life)
Seen some people get caught up
And some charges brought up
With some people they ****
Hey, livin' the fast lane
Drivin', fast broads, makin, fast change
When you pimpin' through life (Life)
Seen some people get caught up
And some charges brought up
With some people they ****
[Verse 1]
Hey, there it goes again
Different face to the same old tragic end
Who's to blame if he never saw it comin'
Yet he heard the **** hummin'
And he never thought of runnin'?
It's too late for him now, layin' out on the ground
So cold, so cold
Nothin' much to live up to
Damn, it's so far gone (Yeah)
So gone
[Chorus]
Livin' in the fast lane
Drivin', fast broads, with your fast change
When you pimpin' through life (Life)
Seen some people got caught up
With some charges brought up
From some people they ****
[Verse 2]
Hey, tell me, when will it end?
When a baby pays for its mother's sinnin'
Trapped inside the four walls of a hand-picked way to stroll
Way to stroll
Now she's out in the cold
Dyin' slow and the **** still warm (Yeah, uh, yo)
[Verse 3]
Ayo, it started when they birthed 'em, runnin' 'round
Stuck in the projects, now he can't wait 'til the first come
Lil' older now, he can't wait 'til the **** come
Sleep all these years and nobody awoke 'em
Gettin' it so he could cover the whole border
Question is, how many of us could hold water?
It seem like tellin' is in
Signed states get a order protection and tell 'em again
I'ma left lane ****, my life is much faster than yours
I'm with a chick, then it's attached to her bra
Got the Air 1's matchin' the car, all-white
Slangin' all night so we rapidly score
That's what they wanna clap at me for
Understand that the flow is like the ****, that he naturally raw
So I'ma get my cash on and my mash on
Then get my **** up outta the fast lane, it don't last long (Lord, help us all)
[Chorus]
Baby, we livin' in the fast lane
Drivin', fast broads, with your fast chains
When you pimpin' through life (Life)
Oh, yeah, caught up
And some charges brought up
From some people you ****
[Outro]
Hey (Ooh-ooh)
This is another Dr. Dre production
In the fast lane
No other place I'll ever be
